MattMatt Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 My D2 jammed it's steering lock in a car park when SWMBO was shopping, the key goes it but won't turn at all - it's never done it before and the AA said they haven't had one lock/jam before either. It's now on the local dealers forcourt waiting for Monday morning. Has anyone else ever had this problem or is it just a one failure?

BogMonster Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Not on a D2 but it happens on a D1 - function of age and lack of lubrication means the tumblers in the lock jam up. Lots of graphited penetrating oil and a smack or twenty with a hammer may loosen it up, you will need to take it off to do it properly so at that point you have nothing to lose and can batter the **** out of it to see if it comes unstuck before you order a new one. Once the steering lock is off, you can actually take the lock off the switch, start it with a screwdriver and drive it around like that. Obviously not very secure though!!
